There are three phases of growth for an eyelash: anagen, catogen and telogen. During the anagen phase, the eyelash hair grows for a period of 20 days. During the catogen phase, the eyelash stops growing and the follicle begins to shrink. The telogen phase is a phase of rest for the eyelash. It remains in this phase for approximately 100 days before falling out.
